RSE costs (FAO Dylan) #10

Open mikecroucher opened 6 years ago

mikecroucher commented 6 years ago

Our day rate of 274 per day is mostly the salary of a Grade 7.x RSE along with a little bit of admin time and management oversight.

The full economic cost for an RA for 1 year is around £103k – our model is around £60k as it is direct cost only and there is no overhead as it’s an ‘other direct cost’ not a personnel cost.

This should be easy to justify if we can evidence extensive deliverables arising from the investment.

mikecroucher commented 6 years ago

Do you need more details as to how we get to the 274 per day figure?

dzchilds commented 6 years ago

Yes please. We don't need masses of text -- I just need to convince a reviewer that we haven't picked any old number.
